I do not think they chose overweight people. I have Celiac, and I have noticed many years ago that my legs and my hips had become much thinner, even after having children. I didn't understand why until I read this article. I wonder if the reason why I tend to gain weight in my abdominal area may be a Celiac thing also. I am not overweight. However, when I...- autoimmunity

So being fatter might be healthier?? It sounds like this study might have been skewed based on how participants were selected. Did they just pick women who were either overweight or had celiac? If so, then obviously the celiac group would have less fat.- autoimmunity

Interesting article and food for thought (no pun). I read the original article and I thought there were some weaknesses in their approach that they did not acknowledge. First, while the UK biobank is a wonderful resource and I'm happy to see this kind of study using it, I don't understand how people were selected to participate in the biobank (it...- 1

Great info, thanks. Luckily I am taking thiamin hcl 100mg at lunch and the 25 mg in morning b complex is made up of hcl and cocarboxlase. I have read many of your writings about thiamin and understand/believe that the body gets rid of the excess. One thing that a gluten-free diet has done for me is no microscopic blood in urine after a lifetime of it, at least so far, but in other aspects my kidneys not so good. My kidneys have never been completely healthy and as an old guy have only gotten worse. My brother is on dialysis so I am more than concerned about excessive thiamin affect on the kidneys. It would be great to check with a dr about this but most of the time they have no interest in anything but drugs. So yes I would love to load up on b1 but it was actually a big decision for me to add 100 mg at noon time a few months ago. Normally my so called bigger meal, or at least where meat is consumed is at mid day. I eat way too much bread and cereals at night and usually stay away from meat as I try to limit cholesterol, although I do sneak a hard boiled egg in there. Maybe a half a hamburger or something like that could help curb the appetite.

Hi @Maureen armey Just one point re: PPIs. Here in the UK the people I know with Barretts have had to take them long term, or H2 blockers instead, despite the fact they have side effects. I feel that it is very important that you follow your consultant's advice re: this type of medication but if you do need to take them longterm, see if they can offer any advice on how to mitigate these potential side effects. I hope you find the information contained via following the link below helpful. Do come back to us if you have any further questions. https://heartburncanceruk.org/blog/should-you-take-ppis-long-term-insights-from-a-gp-and-barretts-patient/ Cristiana

For the past 3 years, I’ve bloated from most powders, e.g. gelatin, Bulk Supplements glutamine. I don’t eat processed food at all. I know now I’ve had SIBO for 3 years. I’ve been keto for 12 years, except 3 years ago I started eating more starch and fruit. Appears trehalose, a disaccharide of glucose, is used as a stabilizer in LOTS of food, and there are glowing articles about it being a safe low glycemic index sweetener. But there’s evidence it adversely impacts the gut biome. "...realistic trehalose consumption from natural sources could be estimated at < 0.3 g per person per day (USA)." It’s commonly used in "baked goods, breakfast cereals, rice and pasta, processed vegetables, fruit (dried and juiced), milk products, meat and fish products, sweets, chewing gum, and ice cream...the FDA GRAS report for trehalose considers a potential mean consumption level of 34.43 g day...three epidemic strains of Clostridium difficile have evolved independent mechanisms to better metabolize this nutrient resource." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6546318/ "Trehalose binds water, prevents oxidation, and preserves the structure of food during freezing and heating. It also improves the taste while causing slightly milder blood glucose spikes. These properties made trehalose a common food additive in: Dried and frozen food Instant food (noodles, rice, soups) Sugar coatings and fillings Baked goods Seafood Most manufacturers label trehalose under “added sugars” or “natural flavors.” People who don’t tolerate mushrooms probably lack trehalase." https://supplements.selfdecode.com/blog/trehalose-health-benefits/#Trehalose_Food_Sources Note that FDA allows food labels to exclude mention of any component that is <0.5%. It’s called the averaging rule, and the component is not on the label. A food can have very many components that are each <0.5%. So reading the label is no assurance that you know what you’re consuming. https://www.allergy-insight.com/trehalose-intolerance/ "...trehalose intolerance is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme trehalase...can be genetic, or caused by severe gastroenteritis and other gut diseases." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18777247/ Characterization of alpha,alpha-trehalase released in the intestinal lumen by the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii "...trehalase deficiency is more common than is believed and that oral administration of S. boulardii could be beneficial in patients with digestive symptoms caused by trehalose intolerance." I ferment fruit juice with Florastor to greatly increase the colony count. It's easy and delicious. I drink 1/2 cup with any trehalose source, and it helps. -

Thiamine helps iron function in cells. Thiamine also helps with glucose intolerance (pre-diabetic state) and can prevent diabetes. Thiamine improves blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases.

Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine which has a fatty tail attached to it. This fatty tail allows it to slip into a cell by merging the fatty tail with the fatty cell membrane. Thiamine Hydrochloride must enter into a cell by using a thiamine transporter, sort of like a stage door with a bouncer for VIP guests only. Thiamine and Folate use the same transporters to enter cells. In thiamine deficiency, these transporters shut down and thiamine hydrochloride can no longer enter through those transporters. Folate, too, can have difficulty entering cells through the transporters, which can result in anemia. High doses of Thiamine Hydrochloride must be taken to "storm the gates" and force the transporters to reopen. Higher concentrations of Thiamine Hydrochloride outside cells cause movement of Thiamine to the lower concentration inside cells by passive diffusion. However, if subclinical thiamine deficiency has gone on for a while, there are fewer and fewer thiamine transporters present on the cell membranes. So even high dose thiamine hydrochloride may not get into cells as effectively as Benfotiamine with its lipid tail that can allow thiamine to slip in easily. People with autoimmune diseases tend to have fewer thiamine transporters and low thiamine blood levels. Benfotiamine has been shown to improve depression, anxiety, neuropathy, and fatigue. Benfotiamine helps protect the myelin sheaths that protect nerves.
